Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla paste

  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 cups raisins
  • 1 tsp ginger optional
  • 1 tsp cardamom optional

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp bourbon can substitute milk if desired
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Add flour, oats, baking soda, spices, salt in a bowl and set aside.

  • Add dry ingredients and mix on low until combined.
  • Add raisins and remix until combined.
  • Chill dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • On baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat, add balls of 1-2 tablespoons of dough leaving about 2 inches around each cookies.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  • Let cool and enjoy!

Spiced Bourbon Glaze

  • Add cinnamon, vanilla, and 1 tbsp bourbon to the powdered sugar and mix until combined.
  • If necessary, add additional bourbon 1 tsp a time, until you get a drizzle consistency.
  • Drizzle on baked and cooled cookies.

Notes

  • Make sure all your ingredients, particularly your butter and eggs, are at room temperature
  • If your raisins are old you can soak in water or simple syrup to plump up. Make sure they are dry before adding to your cookies.
  • If you want a thinner cookie, you can press the cookies down with the bottom of a glass before baking.
  • A small ice cream scoop makes scooping the cookie dough on pan super easy and creates even sized cookies!
  • This recipe makes about three dozen 2.5-inch cookies. You can easily double or half the recipe as needed.
